Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains the fourth leading cause of cancer-associated death globally with a lack of efficient therapy. The pathogenesis of HCC is a complex and multistep process, highly reliant on de novo lipogenesis, from which tumor cells can incorporate fatty acids to satisfy the necessary energy demands of rapid proliferation and provide survival advantages. Triptolide (TP) is a bioactive ingredient exhibiting potent abilities of anti-proliferation and lipid metabolism regulation, but its clinical application is constrained because of its toxicity and non-specific distribution. The present study has developed galactosylated bovine serum albumin nanoparticles loaded with TP (Gal-BSA-TP NPs) to alleviate systemic toxicity and increase tumor-targeting and antitumor efficacy. Furthermore, Gal-BSA-TP NPs could inhibit de novo lipogenesis via the p53-SREBP1C-FASN pathway to deprive the fuel supply of HCC, offering a specific strategy for HCC treatment. In general, this study provided a biocompatible delivery platform for targeted therapy for HCC from the perspective of de novo lipogenesis. |
